Newquay Cornwall Airport doesn't exist in its own right, it is based on RAF St Mawgan. The airport owners have a contract with the MOD and "share" the airport services with the RAF incliuding ATC, Fire, Bird Control. The future is uncertain, the MOD Contract expires Mar 2007 and the RAF have announced they intend to cease flying and place the airfield into "care & maintenance" by April 2007. There is a strong will to keep NCA running beyond that, (see various links under airports & routes) but there is stil a lot to be sorted out... not least persuading the RAF/MOD to renew the existing contract?
